No problem. I use the Best Forum Threads page and the tag cloud on the home page (when I'm familiar with how a thread is tagged) to find older threads.

How To Get Meds Cheaper
I called the company that made my Keppra. After I called and talked with them, I received a package in the mail that contained 6 months of Keppra meds for me. This was when I was paying about $650/mth for the Keppra.
I know other people have done this too.
They don't want a person to stop taking their med.
With the price they charge for them they can afford to give some to patients for free!

That is what ONFI did for me until I had an appeal through neuro. I'm extremely drug sensitive (and allergic to many foods, have horrible allergies/asthma.....) and, unfortunately, only one of the most expensive drug works for me.
